One great thing about every day is that you know something more than the day before. Yes, every day.

Look carefully, analyze this…there is always something new you have discovered.

Always!

So wake up, form a smile and go forth.

Marinade slowly.

Season quickly.

Cook effectively.

Serve with aplomb.

Delicious and beneficial.

Bon appetit!

Cooked with love.

A loud voice or a haunting melody.

A sweeping lyric.

A broom.

A harp.

One misty mountain morning, yawning before breakfast, I drank coffee with aristocrats and dishwashers.

Part one and part two.

The end.

Many talk about putting aside time for quiet contemplation.

This is a good idea.

Don’t worry about it, you can gaze from the train window, watch and notice the world go by from a cafe…it all contributes to (relatively) quiet time and reflection.

Why do this?

It’s rare for any continous activity not to fade over time. So the quiet, the reflective becomes the “pause that refreshes”.

Salsa, Jazz, Opera, Rock ‘n Roll, R & B, Classical, Louge, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop…

Great names – they sound evocative because we have, I think, become familiar with them.

Tunes, melodies, rhythm, lyrics and memories.

Spend enough time with any musical instrument and you will start to find combinations of notes that please you.
